Hi Guys,
The title says it all. I'm in the market for a new saw. I've used several brands and am looking for help from people who "know". I won't buy a cheap (Sears, poulan, etc.), but I can't spend $600+ either. My tree duties will include firewood, moderate sized trees (most less than 24"), basic trimming and cutting assorted trees down. I won't use it every day, but I don't want to skimp on quality. When I need it, I'll need it to work. I'm thinking 18" bar, if I can get a 20" with an engine to pull it, I'd probably choose the larger bar. Again, I appreciate quality, durability and longevity of the saw, but simply can't justify a "high end" unit.
Any and all thoughts are much appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Tim
